Neil: As Brain Clough once said , “ Football is a game of two halves “ today was such a day . My turn to navigate today . Flat flat flat , winding small roads in dappled sunshine. We meet a young girl who is cycling to Morocco with a huge amount of kit . Even for us she is a little slow so we part after 30 mins of franglais! The whole area north of La Rochelle is crisscrossed with bike tracks . We drift down to the. ‘ Vieux Port ‘ Heaven is Moules and frites with a glass of Muscadet . I do love ferries so we take a late afternoon one across to Ile d’ Oleron . Ceri had her finger on the booked website ticket to show the lady as we get on the ferry . Inadvertently she moved her finger and pressed the delete button…and it doesn’t appear in her deleted e Mail! Only by showing the bank statement do they let us on . Still 20km the other side and it’s getting dark. It’s cold now and lots of cars . We arrive by 8pm with lights on the bike to our room in shared house . Bryan Clough was right . It was 1-1 !
